Don and Mike micros?

So the Nick show has adapted "Me, Myself and I" as well as "What Goes Around, Comes Around", both of those in season 2. But half way through 4 seasons (and with basically all the Eastman and Laird stuff covered except City at War), we still haven't seen the Don and Mike issues brought to life.

If they ever decide to do a Christmas episode, I'm sure they'll put their own fun spin on "The Christmas Aliens", but it's kinda weird that They haven't done "Kirby and The Warp Crystal", considering how much focus Donnie gets in this show.

I think they will eventually do it, I highly doubt they named April's dad "Kirby" just for the hell of it. Although it gets tiring seeing some malady befall Kirby every single season, it could be a cool episode for him and Donnie. Maybe even have him find his missing wife.

Any thoughts on these two Mirage classics coming to the Nick universe?

I would rather not change The Christmas Aliens around and instead get a new plot altogether based around Christmas. As for the Donatello one-shot I could see some meld of Trouble with Augie and the on-shot where Don and the O'Neils find April's mother. It would have to incorporate the Kraang somehow to have her pkaced in the dimension.

Well, they also named Jack Kurtzman after Jack Kirby's real name (Jacob Kurtzberg), so that doesn't necessarily tie either of them to that character/story. They could always introduce a comic artist and call him "Jacob King" or something if they want to do a relatively direct adaptation of the issue.

I'm sure they've got plans to get to them, though. The 2003 series adapted the Donatello issue pretty much perfectly, so I don't really need to see another one, but it would still be cool to see the Nick team's take on it.

I wouldn't mind seeing them but they're certainly less important to the story than the Raph and Leo Micros. That and the Don Micro seems like it would have less than justifiable budget.

Wow, I never knew that about Kurtzman. Domo for the knowledge.

Good point. They might just use Dimension X or another familiar alien world for the setting though.

I did have a scenario for a trouble with Augie episode using Aprils mother, and I depicted the brotherhood as a group of Salamandrians.

In the mirage comic April's father is also named Kirby O'Neil and it's mentioned he's dead. And April in this series isn't a living drawing.

You're incorrect about Mirage Mr. O'Neil, he goes unnamed throughout the series.

Well April isn't a living drawing at the very least.

I did have some thoughts about the Donatello one shot, and none of the results were good. Part of it is Donnie feeling he doesn't deserve to be around April because he can't get her Dad back. To obsessively tying to find ways to bring Dr. O'Neil back to Earth.


But maybe it plays out that Donnie is the one who is trapped in the other dimension instead.
